HOUSTON, Texas — With the city’s reputation as a top destination for cancer care, many patients travel from across the country to access specialized treatment. The financial burden of lodging can add to their stress.
The American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge provides a free place to stay for those seeking treatment in Houston and their caregivers. That allows patients to focus on their recovery.
